Commentaires : | This measuring cup was likely used in the Dr. Charles A. Janeway Child Health Centre in St. John's. The Dr. Charles A. Janeway Child Health Centre opened in 1966 to provide specialized medical care for children. The hospital provided comprehensive care, and its departments included, among others, emergency, outpatient, surgery, intensive care and psychiatry. In 1996 it also began providing rehabilitation programs. In 2001 it moved to a new building and became the Janeway Children's Health and Rehabilitation Centre. Dr. Charles Alderson Janeway was, for much of his career, the Physician-in-Chief of the Children's Hospital in Boston and the Thomas Morgan Rotch Professor of Paediatrics at Harvard Medical School. He studied and developed treatment programs for immune deficiency diseases. |
